• Title: Transcoherent states: Optical states for maximal generation of atomic coherence
• Authors: Aaron Z. Goldberg and Aephraim M. Steinberg
• Abstract summary: We show that there are quantum states of light that generate coherent atomic states perfectly, with no residual atom-field entanglement. These states can be found for arbitrarily short times and approach slightly-number-squeezed $tfracpi2$ pulses in the limit of large intensities. These states can be repeatedly used as "quantum catalysts" to successfully generate coherent atomic states with high probability.

• Abstract: Quantum technologies are built on the power of coherent superposition. Atomic coherence is typically generated from optical coherence, most often via Rabi oscillations. However, canonical coherent states of light create imperfect resources; a fully-quantized description of "$\tfrac{\pi}{2}$ pulses" shows that the atomic superpositions generated remain entangled with the light. We show that there are quantum states of light that generate coherent atomic states perfectly, with no residual atom-field entanglement. These states can be found for arbitrarily short times and approach slightly-number-squeezed $\tfrac{\pi}{2}$ pulses in the limit of large intensities; similar ideal states can be found for any $(2k+1)\tfrac{\pi}{2}$ pulses, requiring more number squeezing with increasing $k$. Moreover, these states can be repeatedly used as "quantum catalysts" to successfully generate coherent atomic states with high probability. From this perspective we have identified states that are "more coherent" than coherent states.

  We propose two kinds of novel and efficient fusion schemes for atomic W-like states based on the large-detuning interactions between several atoms and a single-mode cavity field. Although the fusion process of our scheme involves particle loss, the corresponding success probability is high and fixed, which may induce high fusion efficiency.

• Optimal quantum speed for mixed states [0.0]
  We show that for an arbitrary $d$, the optimal state is represented by a $X$-state with an additional property of being symmetric with respect to the secondary diagonal. Although the coherence of the states is responsible for the speed of evolution, only the coherence caused by some off-diagonal entries located on the secondary diagonal play a role in the fastest states.

  A candidate application for quantum computers is to simulate the low-temperature properties of quantum systems. This paper shows that, for most random Hamiltonians, the maximally mixed state is a sufficiently good trial state. Phase estimation efficiently prepares states with energy arbitrarily close to the ground energy.

• Beyond transcoherent states: Field states for effecting optimal coherent rotations on single or multiple qubits [0.0]
  We introduce field states that transform an atom from its ground or excited state to any point on the Bloch sphere without residual atom-field entanglement. The best strong pulses for carrying out rotations by angle $theta$ are are squeezed in photon-number variance by a factor of $rmsinctheta$. We extend these investigations to fields interacting with multiple atoms simultaneously, discovering once again that number squeezing by $tfracpi2$ is optimal for enacting $tfracpi2$ pulses on all of the atoms simultaneously.

  We consider an ensemble of Alkali atoms that are continuously optically pumped and probed. Due to the collective scattering of photons at large optical depth, the steady state of atoms does not correspond to an uncorrelated tensor-product state. We find and characterize regimes of Raman lasing, akin to the model of a superradiant laser.
